Poker History

In watch the 1998 WSOP ME on ESPN (x) about a year ago I noticed that Daniel N. was in the crowd when Scotty won and went to the rail to celebrate. When watch a recap of said event during the current coverage of the WSOP Circuit event I noticed that Matusow was there as well. Its funny to think that they were all there, all knew each other 8 years ago, before poker was poker.

When it was still poker.

Seeing the interaction between Scotty, Daniel and Matusow then and seeing them interact now makes you think. How much of that last bet relates to this hand and how much of it relates to that last time he was in this position against this opponet that just happens to have been 10 years ago in a 50/100 game at Binion's.

History my friends, history.

Much like Tooloftheman raising Otis on the river. How did he know Otis was betting with air? History. How does Daniel make a call against Doyle that no one else would? He knows the true odds in the hand.
................

By the way, how do I screen cap off my DVR? I'd love to post a jpeg of Scotty, Mike and Daniel back in 1998. Daniel with hair, Scotty with 1998 bling and a skinny Mike.

You call, it's all over baby.

D & M probably had a piece of Scotty and if he didn't win, it would be baloney sandwiches for dinner again.

By my estimation, you owe "Big Carl" roughly $3,033,236 in past due "bills".
